Farawa 18
1 Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Ibrahim kusa da manyan itatuwan Mamre yayinda yake zaune a mashigin tentinsa da tsakar rana.
And the Lord appeared unto him in the grove of Mamre; while he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day.
2 Da Ibrahim ya ɗaga ido, sai ya ga mutum uku suna tsaye kusa da shi. Sa’ad da ya gan su, sai ya tashi nan da nan daga mashigin tentinsa, ya tarye su, ya rusuna har ƙasa.
And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood near him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the door of the tent, and bowed himself to the ground;
3 Ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, in na sami tagomashi daga gare ku kada ku wuce bawanku.
And he said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
4 Bari a kawo ruwa ku wanke ƙafafunku, ku huta a ƙarƙashin wannan itace.
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 Bari in samo muku wani abu ku ci don ku wartsake, sa’an nan ku ci gaba da tafiyarku; da yake kun biyo wurin bawanku.” Suka ce, “To, sai ka yi abin da ka ce.”
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your heart, after that ye may pass on; since ye have once passed by your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast spoken.
6 Saboda haka Ibrahim ya ruga zuwa wurin Saratu a cikin tenti ya ce, “Yi sauri, ki shirya mudu uku na gari mai laushi, ki cuɗa shi, ki yi burodi.”
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
7 Sa’an nan Ibrahim ya yi gudu zuwa garkensa, ya zaɓi ɗan maraƙi ya ba wa bawansa, bawansa kuma ya yi sauri ya gyara shi.
And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man, and he hastened to dress it.
8 Sa’an nan Ibrahim ya ɗauko dambu da madara da naman ɗan maraƙin da aka gyara, ya kawo a gabansu. Yayinda suke ci, ya tsaya a gindin itace kusa da su.
And he took cream and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
9 Sai suka ce masa, “Ina Saratu matarka?” Ibrahim ya ce, “Tana can cikin tenti.”
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife! And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Sa’an nan ɗayansu ya ce, “Lalle zan komo wurinka war haka shekara mai zuwa. Saratu matarka kuwa za tă haifi ɗa.” Saratu kuwa tana a bayansu tana ji daga mashigin tenti.
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee at this time next year: and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it at the door of the tent, which was behind him.
11 Ibrahim da Saratu dai sun riga sun tsufa sosai. Saratu kuma ta wuce shekarun haihuwa.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in years; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Saboda haka Saratu ta yi dariya da ta yi tunani a zuci tana cewa, “Bayan ƙarfina ya ƙare, maigidana kuma ya tsufa, yanzu zan sami wannan jin daɗi?”
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old!
13 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Ibrahim, “Me ya ba Saratu dariya har da ta ce, ‘Har zan iya haifi ɗa duk ta tsufata yanzu?’
And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, since I am old?
14 Akwai abin zai gagari Ubangiji? Zan komo wurinka a ƙayyadadden lokacin nan shekara mai zuwa kuma Saratu za tă haifi ɗa.”
Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, at this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Saratu ta ji tsoro, don haka sai ta yi ƙarya ta ce, “Ban yi dariya ba.” Ya ce, “A’a, kin yi dariya.”
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid; but he said, Nay; indeed thou didst laugh.
16 Sai mutanen suka tashi suka nufi Sodom, Ibrahim kuwa ya yi musu rakiya, ya yi bankwana da su.
And the men rose up from there and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan ɓoye wa Ibrahim abin da nake shirin yi?
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about doing?
18 Lalle Ibrahim zai zama al’umma mai girma da kuma mai iko, kuma ta wurinsa dukan al’umman duniya za su sami albarka.
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 Saboda na zaɓe shi don yă umarci’ya’yansa da iyalinsa a bayansa su kiyaye hanyoyin Ubangiji, ta wurin yin abin da yake daidai da kuma yin adalci, domin Ubangiji ya aikata abin da ya yi wa Ibrahim alkawari.”
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, that they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice; in order that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken concerning him.
20 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce, “Kuka a kan Sodom da Gomorra ta yi yawa, zunubinsu kuma ya yi muni sosai,
And the Lord said, Because the cry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous:
21 zan gangara in ga ko abin da suka yi ya yi muni kamar yadda kukan ya zo gare ni, zan bincike.”
I will go down now, and see if they have done according to the cry against them, which is come unto me, destruction [shall come upon them]; and if not, I will know it.
22 Sai mutanen suka juya suka nufi wajen Sodom amma Ibrahim ya ci gaba da kasance a gaban Ubangiji.
And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.
23 Sai Ibrahim ya matso wurinsa ya ce, “Za ka hallaka masu adalci tare da masu mugunta?
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou then destroy the righteous also with the wicked?
24 Me zai faru in akwai mutum hamshin masu adalci a cikin birnin? Ashe, za ka hallaka shi, ba za ka cece wurin saboda mutane hamsin nan masu adalcin da suke a cikinsa ba?
Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou then also destroy and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 Tabbatacce ba za ka taɓa aikata irin wannan abu ba, ka kashe masu adalci tare da masu mugunta, ka ɗauka masu adalci da masu mugunta daidai? Tabbatacce ba za ka taɓa aikata irin wannan abu ba! Mai hukuncin dukan duniya ba zai aikata gaskiya ba?”
Far be it from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be this from thee; shall the Judge of all the earth not exercise justice?
26 Ubangiji ce, “In na sami mutum hamshin masu adalci a cikin birnin Sodom, zan bar dukan birnin saboda su.”
And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then will I spare all of the place for their sake.
27 Sai Ibrahim ya ƙara cewa, “Yanzu da na yi karambani har na yi magana da Ubangiji, ko da yake ni ba kome ba ne illa turɓaya da toka,
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes:
28 in yawan masu adalci sun kāsa hamshin da mutum biyar fa? Za ka hallaka dukan birnin saboda rashin mutum biyar ɗin?” Ya ce, “In na sami mutum arba’in da biyar a wurin, ba zan hallaka shi ba.”
Peradventure there will lack five of the fifty righteous; wilt thou then destroy all the city for the [lack of] these five? And he said, I will not destroy, if I find there forty and five.
29 Ya sāke cewa, “In mutum arba’in kaɗai aka samu a can fa?” Ya ce, “Saboda mutum arba’in ɗin, ba zan aikata ba.”
And he spoke yet again unto him, and said, Peradventure there will be found there forty. And he said, I will not do it for the sake of the forty.
30 Sai ya ce, “Kada Ubangiji ya yi fushi, amma bari in ƙara magana. A ce mutum talatin kaɗai aka samu a can fa?” Ya ce, “Ba zan aikata ba, in na sami mutum talatin a can.”
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there will be found there thirty. And he said, I will not do it, if I find there thirty.
31 Ibrahim ya ce, “Yanzu fa da na yi karambani har na yi magana da Ubangiji, in ashirin kaɗai aka samu a can fa?” Ya ce, “Saboda ashirin ɗin, ba zan hallaka shi ba.”
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there will be found there twenty. And he said, I will not destroy for the sake of the twenty.
32 Sa’an nan Ibrahim ya ce, “Kada Ubangiji yă yi fushi, amma bari in ƙara magana sau ɗaya tak. In aka sami mutum goma kaɗai a can fa?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Saboda goma nan, ba zan hallaka shi ba.”
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure there will be found there ten. And he said, I will not destroy, for the sake of the ten.
33 Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya gama magana da Ibrahim, ya tafi, Ibrahim kuma ya koma gida.
And the Lord went away, when he had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.
